Default Xpand!

I'm going crazy trying to isolate my midi drum kit using BFD and a synth that fires Xpand!.

Does anyone know how to change the midi channel of Xpand!? It's default it channel 1 and that's the only channel BFD seems to work on.

Default Re: Xpand!

Just change the MIDI inputs to be a specific port.

If you are using "All" as the current MIDI input for both, both tracks/instruments will respond to any MIDI that is coming in, not matter what port or channel it is on.


If you set the MIDI input of the BFD track to be only the specific MIDI port of your drum kit, it will only respond to signals from your drum kit.

If you set the input of the XPand track to be only the specific MIDI port of your synth/controller, it will only respond to signals from your synth/controller.

Default Re: Xpand!

I tried that before I posted my question. The input of Xpand only shows as channel 1.

Default Re: Xpand!

Not the input of XPand, the MIDI input of the track you have it inserted on.

We're talking about the MIDI inputs of the tracks, not the MIDI input of the instruments you have inserted. (Those are where the MIDI outputs of the tracks go)
